This is intended for dedicated servers, as RTB can be used to change settings ingame.

Both files in that link are required.
Server_DSC.zip goes into your add-ons folder, do not extract it.
BLExternal.exe can go anywhere, this is the program.

Instructions for use:
Enable Server_DSC in the add-ons list.
Open the program before starting your server.
Start the server (dedicated or ingame), and let the information on the program. It should take about 3 seconds to start, and will finish about 3 seconds after.
Enjoy.

You're downloading a program that can be used for chatting to players on your server, and changing settings on your server, without being in it.

OOH! COOL!
and im NOT 5!!!!

Can you make this internal?


This would be even better if it would be made into a PHP/AJAX/Cron script, that'd be epic.

I should really kick the stuff out of you, you dont really need a pic of a Gui.

you can chat outside of it anyways but it's VEry hard and as your typeing any text that ppl send the console takes as what your saying they don't see it but you don't see what they sayed

You can also change settings outside of it.
But we'll just use this program because it's easier.
